More Info:
Two CD set. John's Children was the quintessential cult '60s mod/psych band, controversial, sharply dressed and subsequently the stuff of legend. The band was fronted by Andy Ellison (later with Jet and Radio Stars) and boasted Marc Bolan within their ranks during their short life. A Strange Affair for the first time boasts the entire Johns Children output between 1966 and 1970. The package includes two singles for EMI's Columbia label, rour singles for The Who's label Track Records and their mock-live album Orgasm! Which was belatedly issued on US label White Whale in 1970. Also includes Andy Ellison's subsequent solo singles, three tracks by pre-Johns Children band The Silence, and a raft of rare and previously unissued alternative versions and mixes.
